Brad Marchand suffered a "mild concussion" after taking an elbow to the head in Wednesday night's game at New Jersey, Boston general manager Peter Chiarelli has announced.

Marchand, who is Boston's leading scorer, will not play in tonight's home game against the Islanders.

The team is already without center Patrice Bergeron, who suffered a concussion on April 2 against Ottawa. Bergeron has returned to skating this week, and Chiarelli said Wednesday that the team was encouraged by his progress.
